✈️ April 26 is World Pilots Day. ✈️
Today, we celebrate pilots who turn their passion into purpose — spotlighting one who truly elevated efforts to end Alzheimer’s to new heights.
Meet commercial pilot Mike Bremner. Mike is the founder of Elder Abuse Air Force, a nonprofit that exposes, prevents and fights elder abuse by flying Awareness Missions. Mike’s love of flying fuels his fight against elder abuse and Alzheimer’s. His mother lives with dementia and was once the victim of elder abuse. This devastating experience inspired Mike to take action.
In support of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Do What You Love to End ALZ campaign, Mike flew an Awareness Mission that made history.
In October, Mike set a world record, circling the Hollywood Sign 50 times over a two-hour period to raise funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. When he didn’t hit his $5,000 goal on the first flight, he kept going — flying over the Santa Monica and Huntington Beach piers until he surpassed it, raising $5,450.
Thank you, Mike, for using your wings to create impact and for showing how doing what you love can create real change. 💜
You don’t need to fly a plane to make an impact. Whether it’s running, baking, crafting, gaming or gathering friends, your passion can help end Alzheimer’s. Create your fundraising activity at alz.org/dowhatyoulove.
